Eden Valley is recognised as one of the world’s great Riesling regions. The wine comes from a single vineyard whose specific topography and mineral profile provide ideal conditions for Riesling. Gun Metal describes the grey-coloured stone amongst the vineyard while symbolizing the steely minerality of the wine. The nose is evocative of honey and jasmine aromas, with nuances of fresh pears and allspice. Light and refreshing on the palate, wit honeyed fruit and baked apple flavors.

A personal favourite of mine and the Riesling that opened my eyes to this wonderful grape, it would be easy to get misty eyed and assume this is great. Thankfully, the 2017 lives up to its billing and might be one of the best wines Jeff Grosset has ever made. Taut with vibrant citrus, especially the lime lead character that Clare is famous for, this is ultra-steely and mineral, seeming to go on forever. Sensational stuff. This will benefit from 5 or 6 years in the cellar to open up. Sign me up for at least a case! Drink 2022 to 2030+.

Almost translucent in the glass, the nose reveals a delicate floral bouquet of elderflower and white rose petals, complemented by a soft white peach character. The palate is pleasingly balanced with a slightly rounded texture, a lemon tinged acidity running neatly through it, carrying flavours of greengage and orange zest throughout. A light styled Riesling which is crisp and clean, and rather moreish on the long finish. Attractive for drinking in its youth yet will offer enjoyment over the coming 5-7 years; drink from 2018 – 2025.

This year’s 311 offers a nose of citrus, stone fruit, cedar and vanilla – hinting at its time in oak. The palate is bright and lively, with lovely citrus and stone-fruit notes wrapped nicely with a touch of oak and acidity. This is a touch richer than the previous vintage (which only used fruit from Tumbarumba) but shows great balance and acidity. Drink 2019-2025.

Bin 8 has been crafted in the traditional Penfolds style. Ripe, balanced fruit flavours are supported by softly integrated oak resulting in a silky, smooth red wine. An early drinking style, which will keep for a few years, but is best soon after release.
